A Canadian university only accepts applicants who “self-identify as black” for a tenured teaching position in economics.
Toronto Metropolitan University released its job listing for a tenured position in microeconomics or applied economics on Nov. 21 and says on its website that the school is “committed to addressing underrepresentation of black faculty.”
“Successful applicants will identify as Black of African descent (i.e. Africans and people with African ancestry from the Caribbean, Americas, Europe) and demonstrate strong potential for excellence, willingness and ability to contribute to: teaching, research academic or creative activity and service, while maintaining an inclusive, equitable and collegiate work environment in all activities,” states the job posting.
The job description also states that “All applicants for this opportunity must identify as Black.”
